did you do this yet?

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Did it last night, just in case.

I'm hoping we don't go to all this trouble to jailbreak on 3.0, and then 3.0.1 comes out with MMS and a baseband upgrade. What a nightmare that'd be! :P It better just be a carrier update.

To jailbreak in the future, Apple may give you a permanent ID or something like that and it will be sent to Apple every time you restore, which is needed to jailbreak. Using this process, you are making a new ID/code so that in the future you can replace it on your phone and generate as many codes as you want to get past Apple.

That's how I understand it.

I just did it.

Just to let everyone know you don't actually need to restore your phone after putting it into recovery mode. Once it's in recovery mode, you can turn it off and then back on and your phone is back to normal. It was very easy took less than 5 minutes.

ok i did it have it saved under downloads so i can find it when i need it. Thanks for the tip man.

I just did this as well after reading the update on the dev teams blog.

From the Dev team's latest entry on their blog
If you already have a 3GS phone and have already done a full USB dump or captured your img3’s signed with your ECID, then you’re in great shape. You will always be able to jailbreak. But many people who plan on getting a 3GS do not yet have one. That seems like reason enough to do it if you are planning on jailbreaking.

I just did this today. It's really easy to do, and doesn't require you to restore your phone. The recovery mode just allows you to get your device's ECID, which you then paste into purplera1n.com (purplera1n is the name for the 3GS jailbreak). Once you hit enter, you'll auto-download a file that supposedly will allow you to forever thwart any attempt Apple makes to break the ECID jailbreak for the 3GS. It's a safety measure, and not a tough one to do if you're a jailbreaker...

It was very simple to do. One thing I did notice when I ran USB view and didn't see the ECID. Was to auto refresh and it'll come right up. I think that was one problem alot of users on modmyi were having.

I'm not necessarily planning on jailbreaking, but I certainly want the option open to me.

Thanks for this information, just did it, was very easy.

[JimMayor007]

nice I like it.

[smittylube]

Does this apply to 3g as well?

No, just the 3GS the Dev-team has already stated the jailbreak for the 3G is down to hardware, the 3GS is the new Hardware.

[smittylube]

Thanks. no worries then

[dvigue]

so basically, buy now or never jailbreak? safe to say?

[Amigo1342]

You can really never say for sure but it's looking that way.

[dvigue]

wow that really sucks that i will never be able to jailbreak it unless i buy now...too bad

[radack1155]

That's not 100% true. There is a chance it is, hopefully not though.
